Course intended for 

This course is intended for Azure administrators who migrate and manage SAP solutions on Azure. Azure administrators manage cloud services covering storage, networking, and cloud computing functions, with in-depth knowledge of each service throughout the IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations on the services that will be used to achieve optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, resize, monitor, and adjust as appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure administrators use the Azure Portal and, as they become more proficient, use PowerShell and the command-line interface.
